OMG OK !! SO !! This game was SO GOOD !! GENUINELY this might be one of my favorite games I've ever played <33 The writing of the characters is absolutely AMAZING ! I felt like I was able to very quickly become attached to the characters from the start of the game because they just immediately seemed like such REAL people. And as the game progressed, I was able to fall even more in love with the characters and their stories (I really recommend playing the game multiple times and just interacting with the characters I LOVE THEM) and I just absolutely fell in love with each character because they are all such interesting people to learn about. ALSO !! THE ART <333 AMAZING !!! The art is just gorgeous and I absolutely fell in love with all of the character designs <3333 They all look like normal people that you could see in an everyday setting and I think that helps build connection towards them because all the characters look and come from all walks of life and could easily connect with so many others <333 ALSO THE SOUND EFFECTS AND MUSIC WAS SPECTACULAR !! I literally was getting goosebumps during specific scenes because of it ! Overall, I think this game is amazing and would recommend it to anyone who sees this comment. Please play the game <33 You wont regret it !!
first comment<3 THIS GAME IS STUNNING. i mean it like. so badly so badly. i havent felt so touched and intrigued by a game in a hot minute!! theres so much attention to detail. everything connects to another and the mechanics of trust make for a very lovely gameplay style - one that is absolutely replayable for different results! the characters are funny and realistic, the atmosphere is haunting and spooky, and the story builds into some very strong and heartfelt endings. so much love to everyone who worked on it - this was incredible!!
